Scorpions of Southern Mexico,

Mexicans are complaining about the in
crease of scorpions of late in the southern
part of Mexico. They are so numerous
that nearly every house is overrun with
them. They are within the cracks of the
walls, and dart everywhere with inconceiv-
able rapidity; their tails, which hold
the sting, are held ready to fly up, with
dangerous effect, upon the slightest provo
cation. The average scorpion is mahogany
hued, and about two inches long; but they
have been found five inches in length.
The small, yellowish variety are con-
sidered more dangerous, and their
bite is most apprehended at mid
day. In Durango they are black and
so alarmingly numerous-having been al
lowed to breed for centuries in the de-
serted mines-that the government offers
reward per head Tor rather, per tall to
whoever will kill them. Their sting is sell
dom fatal, but it is more or less severe
according to the state of the system. Vic
tins have been known to remain for days
in commissions, foaming at the mouth,
with stomach swelled as in dropsy, while
Others do not suffer much more than from
a bee sting. Monthly.

Tie Latest in the German.

The craze for amateur photography has
reached the german, and there is an
"Amateur Photograph figure. This re-
quires an apparatus and twelve pictures.
The leader places the supposed camera on
table and six couples are arranged in
position to have their pictures taken. The
leader then goes through the performance
of photographing and produces instan-
taneous pictures, which he distributes.
Those finding the greatest similarity in
their pictures are partners for the dance.
A figure giving novel as well as an
attractive appearance to the ball room is
that of the Japanese Fan and Parasoln
Six Japanese fans are required for the
ladies, and six parasols for the gentlemen.
Both fans and parasols are decorated with
different colors, corresponding Partners
are to be taken according to the colors of
the ribbons, and the parasols should be
kept open during the dance. The
''Dancing Garden figure gives very odd
and unique effect. For this six large
paper sacks, with fruit painted on the
front of each, are required for the gentle
men, who step into an adjoining room and
draw the sacks over their heads. The
ladies receive six tags, having on each the
name of the fruit on the sacks. The
gentlemen, when called by the leader
march into the room in single file, and the
ladies select their partners according to
the names of the fruit on their tags. The
gentlemen tear open their sacks and dance
in them as q costume.-New York Mail

Middle Age.


When russell apples turn each bronzed cheek
70 beg final ripeness from the sun
When the first frost with pencil fine and true
The tinting of the leaves has just begun
When all the tumults OF the spring are DER.
And the enchanting summer smiles no more
Then nature still can turn a fair, bright page
And blend all joys in the years middle age.
To all the rustic Joys of summer, spring.
The hazel copse can add its store of wealth
The nests are empty, but the birdlings gay.
No dream their own sweet dreams of love by
stealth.
The spring was fitful and the summer shy,
But autumn, in her robes of wondrous dye.
Ponders how she can make each day more fair,
So hangs tender haze within the air.
And so in life. When on the fair white brow
The lovely tints of gray begin to show.
The heart thrUbs with deep and tender love
That ftful early years can never know.
We see our nestlings mate in their glad spring,
Yet know their love is not so grand a thing
AS it will be when autumns glory sheds
The rapture of all seasons on their heads.

have always noticed that people like
to see high thermometer in summer and
a low one in winter. When the days are
warm and everybody is complaining of
the heat, a man may look at a dozen Their
mometers and he will always believe that
the one which registers the highest is the
correct one. In winter it is just the re-
verse, and he has perfect confidence in
the one registering the lowest. If some
body would manufacture thermometer
which would mark 10 dogs. above when
the temperature was actually 100 degs.,
and would show 10 degs. below when it was
only at zero, he would have a popular in
strument which in general use would SUI
persede all other makes. This is the reason
why some people don't like the signal SER

A time will doubtless come when in the
life and death struggle between man and
the rabbit, the latter will have to go under.
That time, however, will be postponed, we
fear, for many years. Meanwhile, Aus
tralian rabbits will continue to be a terror
to the farm and squatter, as well as a
drug in the market. simultaneously the
price of this favorite little quadruped is
advancing in every European capital
The rabbit cannot be got for less than
nineteen or twenty pence, Or more
than three shillings a couple in High
street, Marylebone, in the Edgeware
road, or in the New cut; while in
Paris five francs for couple of
sslapins'' is deemed a low price. These
figures involve great privation to the
lower classes in both capitals. In London
rabbit pie is the favorite Sunday dinner in
many humble home, but when the raw
material cannot be got for less than one
shilling and sevenpence head the price is
regarded as prohibitive. In Paris the
'Iapin saute" ranks with the rabbit pie of
the British capital, but two francs for a
single "lapin" is fatal to his appearance
on a poor mans table. Can nothing be
done to bring the swarming and devastat-
ing legions of Australian rabbits and the
cred lane'' of English Threats together?--

Canary Birds' of the Factory.

"Here comes What's his-names canary
BIRDS" was street car remark of q
thoughtless young man as a troop OF
bright young girls emerged from large
manufacturing establishment. 1t brings
a smile to the lips of the little piece OF
femininity beside him. Such funny
joke to those little bits Of humanity. 1t
scarcely pays to be indignant with these
silly things, yet when one knows the
sterling worth of many of these workers
it is hard to repress indignation. A group
Of young men, no matter how lowly the
work, are never deemed objects of deris
ion. These girls, heroines many of them,
are continually subjected to such taunts.

one of these Canary birds The hos
pitality of home-one room-was as graci-
ously rendered as though the cage was
gilded. 1t was the dinner hour. A little
table in one corner, cup of tea, bread
and butter. To have always just bread
and butter and tea! Two, and one an in

The great principle is to do away as far
as possible with the necessities in favor of
all manner of luxuries. A young French
man will like a miserable room in the
sixth story, with a brick floor and no car
pet, and will go without a fire even in the
coolest days of winter, whereas, by paying
twenty francs more in the month, he
might have a large comfortable room,
well heated, and two stories lower down

JAMES BUCHANAN AT COURT.
The Trouble He Had While Minister t
EngIand-His Court Dress.


EngIand-His Court Dress.
While the dress question was still under
consideration parliament met and it was
as usual opened by the queen. Buchanan
received circular asking him to be
present and saying that no one would be
admitted who was not in full court dress.
The result was that Buchanan did not go,
and his absence called forth the comment
Of the newspapers. He writes home to
the state department that he has deter
mined to wear no gold lace or embroidery
at court, and that he had expressed de-
sire to the master of ceremonies to appear
at court in such dress as might be agree
able to the queen and still not be much
different from that of the American citi-
zen. 1t was then suggested to Buchanan
that he might assume the civil dress of
George Washington. "But," he says,
fashions have SO changed that If I were to
put on this dress and wear it at one of our
presidents receptions would be the sub
ject of ridicule for life and further that
he considered it presumption for h'Yn to
affect the style of dress Of 6he fsthel of
his country,
His Very is shown in his letters to his
niece Harriet Lane, who was expecting 10
visit him in England. He fears, he says,
that he shall not be invited to the court
receptions upon this account, and that if
he is not, he will probably be dropped by
London society in general, in which case
Miss Lane had better remain at home.
The day before the first levee of the queen
he writes that his appearance there in
suit of plain clothes will, he has no doubt,
produce quite a sensation and become
subject of gossip for the whole court.
R1Jth a hoH oft hi {,,+o
with Sir Edward Gust, at whose sug-
gestion he added plain dress sword to
his ordinary clothes and thus solved the
difficulty.
He says, writing to Harriet Lane, IT
appeared at the levee on Wednesday last
in just such dress as I have worn at
the presidents one hundred times. A
black coat, white waistcoat and cravat,
and black pantaloons and dress buttons,
with the addition of very plain black
handled and black hilted dress sword.
This to crafty those who have yielded
so much and to distinguish me from the
upper court servants. I knew that /
would be received in any dress that l
might wear; but could not have antici-
pated that [ should be received in so kind
and distinguished a manner. Having
yielded, they did not do things by halves.
AS l approached the queen an arch but
benevolent smile lit up her countenance-
as much as to say, You are the first man
who ever appeared before me at court in
such dress I confess that I never felt
more proud of being an American than
when l stood in the brilliant circle in the
simple dress of an American citizen''
This remained Buchanan's dress during
the remainder OF his mission, and he was
one of the most poYllar foreign ministers
of American history. G. Carpen-
